La Bella Verde

La Bella Verde is Ibiza’s sustainable charter company that is working to revolutionise the boating industry internationally. With a hub in Sydney and boats across the Balearic Islands, La Bella Verde is pioneering a new form of nautical travel that only use renewable energy sources.

As a tourist location, Ibiza has had to face numerous environmental challenges, from the damage caused by single-use plastic to excessive noise pollution rates. But, as part of growing awareness of the impact of tourism, communities are coming together to combat the damage in the most effective way possible, by ensuring that change protects sensitive ecosystems while also protecting their livelihoods. La Bella Verde is part of this movement, creating recyclable and eco-friendly boats and protecting the local sea-tourism industry. 

In this guide, Maarten, one of the founders, shares with us the most popular locations they visit on their boat tours. Read on below to learn more about Ibiza’s best sea spots.

It is just crazy, beautiful. If you want to reach it by land, it's a massive hike and definitely not everybody is up for that or even capable of getting there. So it's easier by boat. It's such an impressive place, the colour of the water, the history of the place. It's just an amazing, unique and beautiful place.

Es Vedrà is this huge rock sticking out of the water with many myths written about it. It's supposed to be, super magnetic and contributing to the magical energy of the island. And there's this old pirate myth that due to the magnetic forces of the rock like compasses would be spinning around like crazy, and people would not be able to know the way north was and they would crash. These are all stories, but it is a very impressive place to sail past.

It's just very beautiful and the whole West Coast really is quite impressive to sail past because of the geometric rock formations and caves.

This is where one of our boats is based and it has these beautiful, white sand beaches like Playa de Migjorn and the caves!

On the way from the port of Formentera to Cala Saona, there are these swim-in caves. We get close by and then you can jump off the boat and swim into them.

This is a beautiful private island on the east coast. It is a really magical place as well. Beautiful water and just an amazing location.

Ibiza's Only Eco-Friendly Boat Trip with La Bella Verde

Ana Sting

Renowned for its energy and spiritual fecundity, Ibiza has an abundance of manifestation potential, a powerful and vibrant energy not present elsewhere. The island is situated on several ley lines and has long been a hub for the spiritually-inclined. Ana Sting, is certainly one of them, speaking about the healing journey she is undergoing on the island and the palpable presence of the goddess Tanit.

Ana Sting is a multidisciplinary artist who explores the topics of spirituality, identity, womanhood, activism and sustainability and has recently moved to the island. Her work, mostly developed through photography and video direction, is in a constant state of looking for meaning and depth. She's the founder of The Now Series, a series of online conversations with outstanding artists and activists across creativity, music and activism, and The Nalgas party, an inclusive reggaeton party based in Barcelona.

Beyond the spiritual realm, the island offers a wealth of physical opportunities and unique boutiques. Ana’s key takeaway tip from this guide is for visitors to do their research and avoid the overpriced and over-touristed locations on the island. Read on below for a bit of that insider knowledge.

I have to confess that in the last years I felt quite connected with the frequency and vibration of certain crystals. I have been meditating and using them for protection and healing. There is this magical place called 'Crystal Mountain' which is a hub for health, healing and happiness. It is an experimental, high vibrational temple for sharing and expressing yourself. The centre also reunites a group of experts and alternative healers creating a vortex for deep transformation and realisation. If you are already familiar with that world you will absolutely love it, if you feel the urge to try it, pay a visit, do not doubt it.

One of the most yummy and local places on the island. This front beach restaurant is found in the town of Talamanca, ten minutes away from the old town and it's run by the most fun and charismatic lady. She makes the place unique and always comes and takes care of the clients with a smile on her face but you can't forget about their fresh food. Definitely a place to visit.

If you need to go shopping and need something glamorous and unique you have to stop by Annie's. The English fashion icon and entrepreneur has the best selection of new and vintage clothing and accessories inside the Old Town of Ibiza. I recommend going at night before having dinner at one of the restaurants in the area or while you eat an ice cream and walk around the beautiful streets.

You might have never heard of it but don't worry, I didn't hear of it before I arrived on the island. Primal is the funniest workout I have ever tried, it connects with your inner child and it is more like a game than a workout which makes it entertaining and feels short although it's a full intense hour. 

Paying a visit to the small island of Formentera is a must. Either book a boat with a group of people and spend the day sailing or take a 30 minute boat and spend a couple of days driving around the tiny island of white sand and turquoise waters. If Ibiza gets a little too much this is the best getaway.
